About this map

Humboldt River and Marys River converge in this high-desert landscape, creating a vital transportation corridor through northeastern Nevada. The small settlement of Deeth serves as a focal point where the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads parallel the winding riverbanks. This 1967 field-checked survey illustrates the transition from traditional rail infrastructure to the modern highway era, evidenced by the presence of 80 and the Deeth Interchange.

South of the main river valley, the terrain opens into Starr Valley and Dennis Flats, drained by a network of seasonal watercourses including Starr Creek and Stephens Creek. The map documents localized industrial and ranching activity through features like the Gravel Pit near the river and Ackler to the southeast. Isolated landmarks such as the Radio Tower and a Landing Area near the tracks further define the specialized land use in this expansive Elko County basin.
